KUWAIT CITY, Feb 12: Sheikh Abdullah Khaled Al-Fahad reaffirmed the commitment of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mubarak’s family to supporting equestrian sports through their annual sponsorship of horse racing. This tradition traces back to the 1950s, when His Highness Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, emerged as a key advocate and patron of equestrian events, dedicated to preserving the heritage of past generations.
SheikhAl-Fahad made these remarks while representing the family of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah at the ceremony announcing the winners of the 2024-2025 horse racing season, an event held in honour of the late Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah.
He also commended the relentless efforts of the Chairman and members of the Board of Directors of the Hunting and Equestrian Club in promoting and advancing horse racing. He highlighted the sport’s significance as a cherished part of local heritage and a reflection of Arab and Islamic traditions, inspiring new generations to uphold the enduring values upon which the nation was built.
The horse racing season commenced on November 4 and culminated in the prestigious Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mubarak Race—an annual event upheld by his heirs for many years in tribute to his legacy.
